From the moment we arrived at Euro and Sandra's stunning home we felt like we had been handed a slice of heaven! They were so warm and welcoming and immediately made us feel very at home. They will give you complete privacy if you wish or equally will invite you to enjoy their world with open and generous hearts! The swimming pool is absolutely incredible and the views are among the best you're likely to see in the area! We enjoyed the sunset every night from the fabulous dining area on the terrace and then retired to the enormous sitting room which my 9 year old renamed the ballroom! And she did dance a few waltzes and tangoed there too! The house is brimming with beautiful curios and collectibles and there were some Fabulous vintage architectural design magazines which I loved! Everything about this home was perfext, we could not have hoped for anything more. The actual house, pool and views are better in reality than the pictures! Also Sandra is an incredible cook and treated us to Italian delicacies every day. I know this sounds like a gushing review but it truly was an absolutely amazing experience for us! The surrounding area is wonderful, Cinque Terre, Portovenere, Tellaro, Lerici and up the hill Bolano is worth a visit for the little winding streets and far reaching views! Thank you so much for your warm hearted hospitality Euro and Sandra and thank you for sharing your little bit of heaven with us! Hopefully we'll return one day 3

Our hosts, Euro and Sandra, made us feel welcome from the moment we met them. Euro took us to the wine shop and the grocery, answered all of our questions, and they could not have been more gracious, friendly hosts. Exceptional. The home is absolutely beautiful, with a setting that is breathtaking. The pool, terrace, and spacious home were perfect. We felt that after our three days with Euro and Sandra that we had made some very special Italian friends. Our only request is that the address of the villa be more specific to be entered into a GPS.

Amazing!!!!! There is no words to describe how great it was to stay in this magical place!!! Manuela, Enzo and Paolo are just the best hosts ever!!! Me and my friends enjoyed the place, the view is splendid, we had our breakfast every morning at terrace( great Italian coffee, Nutella, juice and lots of other things) It's very clean the beds are comfortable, very calm, great location if you have a car( protected private parking). Enzo gived us best directions to visit ( the ones you don't know as its not in the 5 terre tourist guide) Porto Venere was amazing!!!! When we decided to go out for a dinner Manuela insisted to drive us to town which is extremely nice!!!! After a great dinner we had a trouble to find a taxi after almost 2 h we contacted Paolo( he were very concerned about our safety and comfort) he managed to get us a car at 1:30 am that took us home( thank you Denius!!!! P.S he didn't wanted to take any money can you imagine how nice it is???) Next morning they were very upset about this taxi problem, before we left we had little talk and we left with best gifts ever huge bag of Ligurian biological lemons and tomatoes from the private family garden!!!! Wow no words we are speechless from this kindness!!! Thank you so much!!! Next time we are definitely staying with them again!!! Thank you so much for this great weekend!!!!!

The family was very nice, although we came late in the night, they have waited for us, took time to present their house, to talk to us about the possibility to visit the towns in the area; we had the whole house to our disposal, equiped with all that we needed; The house is beautiful and the view from the house is wonderfull.

NicoletaOctober 2016

We had a great week in Montedivalli! The house is located on top of a hill in a tiny village next to a church overviewing the mountains ... and you even see the bay of La Spezia in the distance. After a hot day on the beach or in the city it was nice to get back and always enjoying a refreshing breeze coming in over the patio door. The house spacious with two floors and three bedrooms, a fully equipped open kitchen with a dining table, a fire place and a comfortable sofa. There is a nice space to sit down and enjoy your breakfast outside and another large table on the patio for dinner. Our twins (8 years old) loved the huge balcony in front of their bedroom as their „private space“ only to be shared with the towels that we hung there to dry. The house has been used as a weekend refugium and is cosy and stylish at the same time – simply a place to relax and feel comfortable. It was fully renovated two years ago. The kitchen is the heart of the house. Also, the bathroom facilities were new, clean and everything worked well. Raffaela, Alfonso and Elia were very kind and attentive hosts, making us feel welcome like friends staying at their house . They picked us up and introduced us to the house and the environment and they never got tired to give us valuable tipps for our stay (e.g. best beaches and restaurants, place to purchase high quality olive oil (!!), private parking in the city ...) The contact was not only personal, but always fast and helpful. They even made their way up from La Spezia (30 min drive) to the house to say good bye! Thank you very much for this very authentic Italian holiday and contributing to a very memorable time at the Ligurian coast! Hope to see you again sometime soon!

Alfonso (speaks English very well) and Raffaela are very hospitable, welcoming and careful hosts. Alfonso met us and guided to the place, let us to park the car in his private parking in La Spezia and transferred us to the train station for 5-terre trip. Thanks a lot, Alfonso! Their housekeeper Centina (she is from Australia!) was ready to help too. The house is just as on photos, no... It's even better!!! It is very clean, modern, well furnished, comfortable for daily life. Some old things in the interior just make the house better. Terrace and views are fantastic! Dishwashing machine and barbecue were very useful but we a little bit missed washing machine... WiFi was very fast with confident coverage though we respected the hosts request not using it for big-size downloading. Location is nice for spending time in relax and aside of touristic crowds. It is in our opinion not about the sea vacation (beaches around in July are mostly too crowded), it's about other things to enjoy: views, fresh air, light breeze and temporary owning a perfect house of course!!! :). Villa is right next to old chapel which bells toll every 30 min probably from 8:00 till 22:00 (?). For me it was nice specific of the place, for my wife - interrupted her morning dream :) so I think it's very individual. To drive to Montedivalli and back you should be experienced driver cause last 4 km of the way to the villa are serpentines. And 1 more -be ready to protect yourself from mosquitos! ;) But the house definitely worth this "fight")))) ps. Dear Raffaela and Alfonso, thanks for hosting us! ...and for those nice welcome presents after our arriving! We spent the time with pleasure in your villa! Our favorites of 5-terre were Manarolla and Vernazza. Also nice places to recall... :)

I have to give an excellent review for Rafaela (and Alfonso) after our stay at Montedivalli Chiesa. They were really helpful, friendly and welcoming. We were 4 photographers and Alfonso went out of his way with tips and advice on where to go and tips to get around. The house is lovely, perched in a classic Italian village on top of a rock outcrop overlooking the valley all the way to La Spezia. The house is lovely, a clean modern building with good facilities. There's lots of room to hang out and nice areas inside and outside for chilling out. I can't recommend highly enough....

FrancisOctober 2016

What an amazing place! We were absolutely breath-taken when we arrived at Raffaela and Alfonso's beautiful house. The views are incredible, there's loads of space, it's wonderfully decorated, and Raffaela and Alfonso were incredibly welcoming and charming. They went out of their way to make sure we found the house (they drove all the way out from La Spezia to show us the way) and had everything we needed. They even offered us their free parking space in La Spezia! (Parking in Italian cities - nightmare...!). They were full of tips for local travel, too. We were gutted to only have two days here, and we can't wait to come back for longer (and maybe next time bring all our friends and family there's so much space) and explore more! Thank you Raffaela and Alfonso! :)

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location is quiet (except the church bells from 7.00 - 22.00), and picturesque, perfect if you have a car, because it's about 15 minutes ride to nearest bigger town (Ceparana). The owners Raffaela, Alfonso and their son Elia were really helpful and full of information. The apartment is very nice, quite well equipped for the living. The most interesting tourist attractions, Cinque Terre, Porto Venere and Lerici are easily reached (by car, and train). I would highly recommend the apartment, especially if you enjoy the nature.

We didn't meet Xi Jung but her son Marco and her daughter Luna who both manage the airbnb. They are very organised and always available for advice. The house is easy to find and well located. The room is nice and clean. However, we had to share the bathroom with the other 4 guests, which was a bit long in the morning, and not always clean (some guests are really disgusting). Breakfast is copious . I recommend.

EmmanuelSeptember 2016

Xu Jings young daughter Luna and her son Marco are the backbone of the air bnb. They are just superb to deal with - communication is fantastic as they both speak English so well ( our Italian isn't so good) and they respond super fast. The best check in and arrival I have ever experienced. It is just like the photo's - so clean and offers super value for money ( I think they could charge a little more). Absolutely five stars all the way - They should be superhosts. Thanks/Grazie Mille

Tutto OK. Camera pulita, silenziosa e prezzo conveniente.

LucaAugust 2016

The hosts were kind and nice and the room was cosy, clean and very comfortable and a big and very nice bathroom. Location is good. Also, if you want to go to the village by foot. Thanx a lot for the good breakfast :-)

The villa is built in a big and private park ,almost isolated but at the same time it is only 15minutes of drive away from the centre of La spezia, where you can reach very easily Portovenere ,the amazing Cinque Terre or visit Florence and Pisa, away only one hour drive.
Casa Rea è vicino a Portovenere, Cinque Terre , La spezia, Levanto Genova Firenze e Pisa
It suggested to have a car

Villa Rea is the most beautiful villa in the most beautiful setting. The Villa is perfect for a family and is equipped with everything you need. It has an amazing pool and many comfortable bedrooms and living areas. Sonja and her father were amazing - they looked after our every need - providing everything for our two young children, answering all our questions and nothing was too much trouble. When our daughter was sick they arranged a doctor for us and were so kind and caring. They provided us with restaurant information and any other help we needed. I would so recommend staying at Villa Rea and the help and kindness that Sonja and her father provided us ensured we had the most wonderful holiday in this beautiful villa. We would love to stay again. Thank you so much.

The house was big and clean, and the children liked their own room. Our arrival was pleasant, both Tiziana and the house owner Louisa were there and explained us everything and gave us tips. The garden was nice but we stayed on the terrace because of the musqitos. The terrace is big and has a beautiful view over the mountains. The WiFi didn't work but Tiziana came by to fix it, it works only in 1 room. In Beverino there are just a few shops (a café and butcher). The big mall and the Ipercoop are in La Spezia (Terraze), about 15 minutes by car. Lerici and Lucca are beautiful cities. The Cinque Terre was too busy and crowded with tourists. Alltogether a pleasant stay!

We really loved the place! It's right near the bus stop, it was clean and comfortable and the outside area was so lovely. Also, the hosts were incredibly nice and accommodating for us. I would definitely love to stay here again in the future.
